“…It was ranked third in Ethiopia behind te and maize and contains 14% of total calories, making it the second-most produced crop a er maize [16]. Amazingly, wheat was cultivated in many agroecological zones, making it the preferred crop for ensuring food security at the moment [17]. Figure 2 depicts Ethiopia's production of products like sugar cane, cotton, and partially irrigated wheat in the early 1950s [7].…”

“…Major studies [6,[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] channelled environmental pollution management from an environmental science and health management perspective revealing haphazard disposal of gaseous-chemical waste as a major determinant for the spread of gastrointestinal and parasitic diseases, untreated industrial wastewater discharged into lagoon daily resulting in high rate of water contamination, freshwater shortage and water-related diseases, solid-metal waste materials unethically discharged on fallow land, around residential houses, public space and even under the overhead bridges to mention but a few. Limiting the damages due to effluent pollution has become a challenge for the global community (Federal Ministry of Environment, 2021).…”

The study analysed effluent management among medium and large scale agro-allied industries in South west, Nigeria. Multi-stage sampling techniques was employed in selecting 287 MLS agro-allied industries (MSAAI=222; LSAAI=65). Data for this study was obtained from primary sources using a semi-structured questionnaire. Descriptive and relevant inferential statistics such as one-way ANOVA, Pearson’s chi-square test and ordinal Probit regression model were used for data analysis. The study revealed a minimum, maximum and average daily end of pipe volume of 430kg, 8000kg and 3084.21kg, respectively, for medium scale agro-allied industries and 520kg, 15,000kg and 3,534.72kg, respectively, for large scale agro-allied industries with an average proportion (53.6% and 49.0%) of medium and large scale agro-allied industries generating between 1001kg and 3000kg of effluent per day during agro-allied industrial processes. The result also indicated the quantity of end-of-pipe effluents recycled to be 436.08kg and 695.54kg for medium and large scale agro-allied industries, respectively which from the independent t-test statistics, there was a significant difference between the mean quantity of effluent recycled by medium scale agro-allied industries in comparison with the mean quantity of effluent recycled by large scale agro-allied industries (t=12.021; p<0.05). Based on comparing effluent treatment levels/systems between M&LSAI in South west Nigeria. The result revealed an average proportion (57.7%) of medium scale agro-allied industries to have disposed of their end-of-pipe without treatment, while 42.3% treated their end-of-pipe mainly through ponding or sedimentation (20.3%), aeration/membrane filtration (10.4%), chlorination and neutralisation or physicochemical treatment (4.5%) etc. By contrast, a very few proportion (15.4%) of large scale agro-allied industries disposed of their end-of-pipe without treatment, while majority (84.6%) treated end-of-pipe mainly through ponding or sedimentation (18.5%), aeration/membrane filtration (29.2%), chlorination and neutralisation or physicochemical treatment (15.4%) etc. The ordinal Probit regression model of socio-institutional predictors influencing effluent treatment level among M&LSAI in South west Nigeria showed significant variables viz: frequency of visit by waste management agency (-0.2605122 and -0.0849263); M&LSAI income (-1.94e-12 and 4.66e-14); membership of association (-0.7487836 and -0.5136997); and waste management satisfaction level (-0.2552832 and -0.1250288) respectively. The study recommended activities that increase industrial income, membership in associations and orientation on the anti-satisfaction with the status quo of effluent management to promote enhanced effluent treatment level/practices.

Addressing the issue of the absence of relevant automated harvesting machinery for lotus seedpods, which currently relies solely on manual harvesting, this paper proposes a four‐degree‐of‐freedom cantilever‐type lotus seedpod harvesting device. This harvesting device comprises an electric mobile chassis, mobile mechanism, harvesting mechanism, transfer mechanism, image acquisition system, and control system, which make it suitable for harvesting lotus seedpod in standardized lotus fields. The cantilevered lotus seedpod picking device obtains the image of the lotus from the depth camera at an overlooking angle. The YOLOv5‐trained lotus‐bud recognition model is used to identify and locate the lotus seedpod. Through the calibration using active vision method, the conversion relationship between the ZED camera coordinates and the base coordinates of the picking device is calculated to realize lotus seedpod picking. The results of picking experiments conducted in different time periods show that the picking success rate is higher at night, and in the early morning and evening, with the picking success rates of 89.47%, 85.7%, and 85%, respectively, while the picking success rate at noon is only 42.86%. It can be seen that the ambient light has a great influence on the picking of the lotus seedpods, and it is reasonable to avoid the midday period with strong light for picking. The experimental results show that the clamping coupling method realizes the integration of automatic picking and conveying of lotus seedpods, improves the picking efficiency, and provides a new scheme for fruit picking.
